One card draw

haikujaguar did a one card draw for May, from her wonderful Balance Card deck, a deck she designed. (Go read her site for lots more info

Last spring's reading brought me the Priest, setting his book aside and reaching out to look at flowers growing in the window. I got a keepsake painting of it, and that card has been sitting on my altar ever since. By a trick of the light, it's one of the first places the sun hits inside my home each morning, and I've looked at that ray of light many a morning, and gone "It'll get better."

It did.

So, today's reading, she says the following:

How about the Martyr? No, this is... well, sounds crazy I know, but a happy Martyr. Dressed in pale green and white, pulling the hood down around her head and... she's got flowers in her hair.

I think she's on vacation. Maybe you should let her stay there. :)

Which, yes, well. Exactly. I have already emailed her inquiring about a keepsake painting of *this* one, because I think they should keep each other company on my altar.

It's been a long winter, and a long quiet turmoil, and I have already been thinking very much of what a life without those things (but with passion and commitment and a sense of play, rather than labor) might look like with that new stability. (On which more tomorrow, when I do not have to get up very early.)
